Not The passage referred to bv Judge drier In
his former deci.'un, 8 Wallace, p. ttou, adopted as
app Icsbie to this cose was as follows: '
"It Is n.nnlly tbe esse, when any valuable discov
ery is made, or any new machine of great mi.ity Is
invented, tbit tiieaiteutlon of the public has been
lltmed to licit subject previously, and that many
persons hnve been milking researches and expert
meuts. l'hitosoplierri una ineclctiilcisiis may have

which is useful to the pnhlfcthnt the party making II

"And yet when genlua and path nt perseverance

of the honor, while speculators, swlndlois, and pi
rates rob him of the p.otlLs. Every unauceeasful
exfairlmenier who did or did or did not come very
near rnaktne: a discovery now claims It. Every ou.
who enn invent an improvement or vary Its form,
claims a right to oiraie the oritrinal discovery. We
need not suniuious Aioi-se, or Bianchard, or Wood
worth to prove that this la the usual history of eve
